Comparing two root canal cleaning methods for infected teeth
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways of cleaning infected root canals during a root canal procedure. The goal is to see which method better removes bacteria and improves healing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a single-rooted tooth that has died (pulp necrosis) and shows signs of infection at the tip of the root on an X-ray.
- The tooth must not have had a root canal before.
- You have not taken antibiotics in the last 3 months, and you don't need antibiotics before dental work.
- The tooth must not have deep gum pockets (more than 4mm), cracks, or be open to the mouth.
- You must be willing to sign a consent form.

This trial compares two ultrasonic cleaning methods (regular vs. passive) for treating a chronic tooth infection called chronic apical periodontitis. It aims to see which approach is more effective at clearing the infection and saving the tooth.
This trial tests if different concentrations of sodium hypochlorite (a disinfectant used in root canals) affect pain and certain natural chemicals in the tooth during root canal retreatment. It may help find the best option to reduce discomfort.
This trial compares two different ways to clean a molar tooth during a root canal when the nerve is dead. The goal is to find which method is better at removing infection without causing discomfort.
This study compares two different cleaning methods (GentleWave and EdgePro) used during root canal treatment on lower back teeth where the nerve has died. The goal is to see which system removes more bacteria, which may lead to better healing.
